With thanks to Norwich Bottle Share for allowing us to crib the ‘bottle share basics’…
Q: What do I need to do to get involved in a bottle share?
A: As the bottle share has grown we have found the following guidelines should ensure everyone gets a fair share of beers: One 750ml bottle / Two 500ml/440ml bottles/cans / Three 330ml bottles/cans
Q: Do I have to bring a rare or uber-craft beer?
A: No, just bring something that you’d like to share with the group
Q: What’s the basic etiquette for bottle share events?
A: Don’t touch other people’s bottles, keep serving size small so as many people as possible can try each beer & make sure you bring a beer
Q: Are bottle share events free?
A: We’re not going to charge you; you just have to bring a beer. You will need some cash to buy a pint or two in the Ale House as it’s only fair and polite
Q: Can I bring others to the bottle share?
A: Only if they also bring a beer to share. We’re putting the effort into creating these social events and negotiating with venues to host them in so everyone needs to bring a beer to make it fair
Q: Can I bring a couple of bottles of my homebrew instead of bringing shop bottles?
A: Hell yes, we encourage this!
